I started with a Ocean Kayak Trident 13 paddle kayak when I sit got started in kayak fishing and fishing with 2 lines out led to heartache more often than not. I now pedal a Hobie Revolution and can fish hands free and keep moving forward while playing a fish.
The cannon ball is just a round lead sinker 1-6 oz that attaches to a sliding swivel about 2 feet above your dodger. A kayak angler named Tyler Hicks with a YouTube channel SpiltMilt productions has an excellent tutorial on fishing Kokanee without downriggers. I was fishing 2 oz 100’ back and getting bit, I would estimate i was 30’ at a speed of 1.2 mph. It is possible to get 50’ plus without a downrigger.
